Event Details

“Two Scented Rose” portrays the reality of misunderstood love, of the need and obsession that, many times, human beings show when they fall/feel in love. Why does a woman sometimes not recognize deception and tolerates abuse? Does civil status have the same value and commitment for him tan for her? Do women have to marry to achieve a certain status in society? This is a story about love and friendship, about desire and neediness. It is a story about differences and, most of all, about similarities. It is a story marked by counterpoints and chiaroscuros.

ALTA presents in this occassion and under the direction of Karla Longnion, an original versión of “Two Scented Rose”, starring the duo of talented actresses Mónica Fossi and Anjanette Gautier.

The author of the story, considered to be one of the mexican theatrical pieces more represented world-wide, is the mexican playwriter Emilio Carballido (1925-2008), who was known for giving his female characters a great importance anchored in a profound social revision with a liberating facet.

As part of this production, ALTA proudly presents the work of the internationally acclaimed lighting specialist Carlos Arce, who has participated in several important projects in Latin American theaters, and the general coordination of the theater Director Alejandro Pedemonte.
